TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN JAPAN

Japan - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to Japan due to COVID-19-related restrictions.

Teaching English in Japan offers an exciting blend of cultural immersion and professional opportunity, where teachers can experience the country's rich traditions, technological advancements, and high regard for education. With English increasingly emphasized in schools, TESOL-certified teachers are in demand in cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, as well as in smaller towns seeking English instructors. Teachers benefit from competitive salaries, often including housing support and other perks, along with the chance to explore Japan’s stunning landscapes and unique culture—from cherry blossom festivals and tea ceremonies to modern city life and historical landmarks like Mount Fuji and Kyoto's temples. For those passionate about teaching and cultural exchange, Japan provides an enriching and rewarding environment. Japan, an island country in East Asia, is an archipelago of over 6,800 islands stretching along the Pacific coast. The four largest islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, account for the majority of the country's landmass. Japan's terrain is predominantly mountainous, with the Japanese Alps forming the backbone of the main island, Honshu. Mount Fuji, the country's highest peak and a prominent symbol, is a volcanic mountain. The coastline is extensive and varied, with numerous bays, inlets, and peninsulas. Japan's location along the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity. The country experiences a range of climates, from subtropical in the south to continental in the north.
